Netizens love optical illusions and trying to solve the mystery behind them. The new year has begun with another discussion about a mind-boggling photo. The latest optical illusion that’s taking over the internet requires a little bit of effort to see. But here’s a tip: try shaking your head vigorously.
Dr Michelle Dickinson, a nanotech engineer and kite-surfer, posted the illusion on Twitter with the advice: “You can only see this optical illusion if you shake your head (I’m serious)”.
So, users across the world are tilting and shaking their heads to try to decode the mystery. We’re left in splits as we imagine people seated at their office desks or travelling in a metro shaking their heads!
